Method 1
If you bucket fill with a pattern, it will fill a) the active layer and b) only within an active selection.
1) Make a selection of the road.
2) Create a new transparent layer above the road
3) Bucket fill this new layer - only the part within the selection gets filled.
Method 2 (recommended)
1) Create a new layer above the road. Completely fill this layer with road texture.
2) Create a layer mask for this layer. Fill with black. (Road texture layer becomes transparent)
3) Create a selection off the road.
4) On the layer mask, fill this selection with white. (Road texture becomes visible where the white is)
The advantage of this method is that you can edit the layer mask afterwards to adjust the road.
Black=transparent; white=opaque; grey=semi transparent
